When posting a Transfer Order, the "Gen. Bus. Posting Group" of the "General Posting Setup" is used, the value of which is empty.
The problem is that if you post "Item Journal" and the user mistakenly leaves the "Gen. Bus. Posting Group" field empty, the same G/L account is used as in the Transfer Order.
It would be better if there was no combination in the "General Posting Setup" where the "Gen. Bus. Posting Group" field is empty.
The solution could be to add a new field "Gen. Bus. Posting Group" to the "Inventory Setup" table and use it when posting the Transfer Order.

Would suggest that the Gen Bus Posting Group is added to Item/Recalls/Phys Inv/Reval Journal batch and default from there

I was about to raise the same idea as I already have users for multiple clients who mistakenly forgot to populate the Gen Bus. posting group in Item journal and Item reclass journal and that lead to incorrect postings to the GL. I would suggest to either make the Gen. bus posting group available in Transfer order so users are forced to make a conscious decision while selecting the Gen bus posting group OR we can use a default Gen bus posting group specifically for Transfer order that can be populated in Inventory setup. That way wouldn't need to have a BLANK combination of Gen Bus posting group in General posting setup.
